We exist to assist individuals in developing their ability to earn and become contributing citizens in their community.We support the development of self-sufficiency in every person, regardless of background, economic status or level of ability. We strengthen the community by preparing individuals to assume their roles as workers, parents and citizens.
OUR MiSSiOn:Dear Friends,An ancient proverb tells us: “Give a man a fish, and he eats for one day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” At Summit Academy OIC, we understand that the value of knowledge always trumps the value of hand-outs. And with over 580,000 Twin Cities residents enduring poverty and unemployment at a 22-year high, there has never been a greater need to develop the skills and talents of our communities.
Summit Academy OIC works to break the cycle of unemployment and poverty by providing useful trade skills to capable students and by working with those students and employers on an individual basis to ensure graduates can find living-wage jobs to sustain themselves and their families.
Summit instills a culture of respect and self-discipline, dignity and determination, in order to demonstrate professional expectations that students may never have received. The belief is that self-worth can be achieved through learning and achievement and the income and responsibility they can generate. This transforms the student from being a cost to society through social services or incarceration to a contributing citizen who has a real stake in his or her city. It also creates role models for others in the community whose lives would otherwise be defined by the cycle, especially impressionable youth.
In order to serve our clients more effectively, Summit is working toward streamlining programs and services to focus entirely on adult education and job placement. In response to growing market demand, we’ve also made weatherization and green roofing a primary part of our curriculum.
I’m proud to say that with your generous support, Summit’s programs are currently providing access to new opportunities for hundreds of Twin Cities residents and their families. But with billions of dollars in building projects planned for the Twin Cities in coming years, we can still do more.
That’s why at a time when many nonprofits are scaling back or closing, Summit Academy OIC is expanding its reach to include St. Paul.
Your investment allows us to offer hope and skills to individuals from all parts of the Twin Cities and continues to demonstrate that the best social service program in the world is a job.

It’s 10 below zero. I have no home, no job and I can’t afford diapers for my son. That’s all I thought about over the desperation of my child’s cries. Our last dime spent on bus fare. We have nothing. I just need some time. Time to pray. Time to cry. Time to figure out our next move.
The bus felt as cold as all the glares. Judgment and disapproval was cutting me to pieces. ‘Stop looking at us,’ I yelled to myself. I didn’t mean this to happen. I swear. Now my son is cold and starving—retribution for my years of drugs, prison and living with abusive men.
As we huddled together, bound in layer after layer of hand-me-down fleece, we were awoken by screeching brakes. ‘Last stop,’ a voice roared. I opened one eye, nestled under 15 minutes of sleep, to find everyone gone. Everyone except myself, Demont and a woman bus driver staring down at me.
It seems when you’re homeless, all dignity and pride literally get thrown to the curb—just like Demont and I were about to. Yet the woman continued to stare at us for what seemed hours. I didn’t even see her face. I couldn’t look. I just stared at her deep blue transit coat. As we prepared to exit, a gentle voice entered our ears. ‘Pay it forward. Pay it forward.’ I looked up. She slowly smiled, reached into her pocket and handed me a twenty-dollar bill...
...THis Was my firsT sTeP ToWarD finDing summiT.”
and i knew, right at that very moment, i had to change my life. not for my own sake, but for my son’s.

Life ManagementSummit students also learn practical life skills including budgeting, financial self-discipline and the responsibilities of citizenship and parenthood.
accreditationSummit Academy OIC is a community-based vocational training and job-placement program that is accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Schools and registered with the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
programsSummit’s results-oriented programs focus on high-demand, high-growth industries such as carpentry, weatherization and health care. Program options are responsive to the expressed needs of students, communities and employers.
Summit students dedicate themselves to a 20-week, full-day training program that integrates theory, hands-on learning and soft skills. They are taught by industry experienced instructors and training partners who can provide real-life knowledge of what it takes to succeed in today’s competitive workforce. Students are upheld to stringent expectations on attendance, behavior and skills.
We also offer courses that address adults’ personal issues and fears related to work as well as provide assistance with frequent barriers to training and employment, such as lack of transportation, childcare or funds to pay for training. We work to ensure that these barriers are addressed and that students successfully complete training and move into the job market.
Upon completion, our graduates are ready to enter their selected trade with a well-rounded set of skills and traits that employers look for to ensure on-the-job success.
STep inSiDe SUMMiT aCaDeMY OiCOur curriculum provides students the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen career, as well as in life in general.
Job placementIn addition to vocational training, students learn skills imperative to being hired and retaining employment. Résumé writing, mock interviews and mentoring on how to become a valued employee are all part of Summit’s core curriculum.
Prior to graduation—and beyond—Summit’s job placement counselors help students gain access to living–wage jobs. To support this effort, Summit has built a large network of employers and community leaders who embrace our mission and value our pool of well-trained, ready-to-work graduates.

I know Mom is looking down on me right now. Man, she’d be so proud of me. I never gave her much to be proud of while she was alive. I stole. I robbed. I beat. I abused. I snorted. I never did the right thing. That is, until a few months ago.
After a few years staring through the bars of a prison cell, I heard about this place called Summit Academy OIC. And I knew, deep down inside, this was my only shot. A step toward redemption.
From my first day of class, it was like someone was guiding my every move. Leading me from personal finance class to carpentry class. Always sitting up in front of the class. My arm got so tired from raising it all the time; it was crazy. But I was so intent on learning. Especially when it came to math. I never knew that numbers and fractions would come so easy. Now people come to me with questions. And the feeling of helping another student is better than any drug. More powerful than any score. Because for the first time in my life, I’m giving something back. More than I could ever imagine. For instance, building that green house here at Summit. Now that’s something people will learn from for years to come.
So now as I walk up to receive my degree, I hold my head high. With pride and honor. Because I received a second chance to make things right again...
...anD i Can’T WaiT To see WHaT TomorroW HoLDs.”
i would’ve been dead. no doubt about it. Just like so many of my friends. Hustlin’. Dealin’. Livin’ on the street. instead, i’m about to graduate.

You know, if I told the guys back home I’d be hanging up the Target logo on the new Twins stadium, they’d say I was crazy. Well, you know what? That’s exactly what I did. I drilled the holes. I lifted the sign. And I placed it on that wall. That’s something nobody can ever take away from me.
All that hard work—in the classroom, in the field—it all paid off. Friends told me I was wasting my time with all that ‘school stuff.’ But let me tell you, Summit Academy OIC saved me. It gave me the knowledge I needed to succeed and become a better man. Math class. Tools class. Blueprint class. Life management class. It all came together. And so did I.
I’ve been fortunate to work for some great companies. Places like Signcrafters and Tri-Construction. Where every day my skills are on full display. From building concrete forms and roof trusses to hanging signs, I prove myself every day. Just recently, I helped build the new KMOJ radio station, which was an incredible experience. After all, the radio was where I first heard about Summit. And it changed my life forever.
With each project, I help build the community. One brick at a time. Helping it grow and expand. This is my step. And it’s probably the best feeling in the world...
...THanKs, summiT, for giving me THaT CHanCe.”
This bulls-eye is much more than just another sign. it’s history. and i’m a part of it.

Be a part of the change.The students at Summit Academy OIC have made the choice to step up and turn their lives around. With the dignity and self-esteem a job provides, our graduates can stop drawing on public assistance, pay taxes, spend responsibly and serve as positive role models for their children and peers.
We are ever-grateful to contributors and partners who have chosen to lend a hand to our students along their journey. Together, we have the power to bring about real change. Please join us.
The income our graduates spent within our community grew exponentially. Instead of SPENDING money to incarcerate these individuals or GIVING money in public assistance, money was POSITIVELY injected and redirected straight back into our economy. Dollars spent in stores, restaurants and other businesses infuse and reciprocate, generating taxes rather than using them.
And it goes well beyond the numbers. This kind of impact creates a positive ripple effect that the whole community feels.

Weatherization TrainingOur weatherization training program was created to meet the demands of state and local weatherization projects initiated by the federal stimulus package. The stimulus, along with growing environmental concerns, has created a huge demand for certified weatherization technicians.
Our training program includes energy-efficiency diagnostics; bypass sealing; insulation of foundations, floors, walls and attics; and window retrofitting. The curriculum was created by Summit and some of the nation’s top experts, including the Center for Energy and Environment, the Conservation Service Group, Community Action of Minneapolis and Sustainable Resources Center.
The green HouseAs a part of our weatherization program, students used their skills and training to build Summit’s Green House. Our on-site green house, which stands as a learning resource for students and the community alike, features “see-through” walls so individuals can view the environmentally friendly products and processes that went into the construction of the facility. This project is a prime example of our standing commitment to our green initiative.
We all realize the importance of building a strong renewable future, so we need trained, qualified people to make it happen.
Summit is proud to be a leader in innovative vocational training and job placement in the area of sustainable energy. By providing training to those in the most economically depressed areas, we give our students, including men and women of color, access to these new green jobs, which, in turn, multiplies the effectiveness of every dollar spent in Minnesota.
